Yes, it’s that time of year again when we’re reaching into the back of our closets for all that glorious maroon and baby blue supporter gear that marks one of the ultimate sporting events of the annual calendar – the State of Origin!

I don’t know about you, but it’s been a good few years now since I graced the halls of a reputable educational facility.

And, although I read A LOT of content online on a daily basis in order to keep up with the latest news, technology and innovations in the world, I often find it difficult to find content presented in a way that really engages me and holds my complete attention to the point where “stuff sinks in”.

So only the code monkey and/or geeky ones amongst my readers out there are even going to understand what these are all about, but the past week or so has seen a boom in clever CSS puns popping up all over social media involving real life subjects mixed with clever, relevant CSS selectors.

Although opinions were, and to a degree still very much are, divided over whether or not the recent G20 Summit held here in Brisbane was a good thing for the city and its citizens or not, one thing is for sure – organisers lit up the city in celebration of the event in a display which has been beautifully captured in this video, “Colour Me Brisbane”, from local time-lapse aficionado, Brett Montgomery.

Australia is blessed with some of the most beautiful, and dangerous animals on the planet. From cuddly koalas and wombats to the countless number of deadly eight-legged and slithering beasties that grace the big island, we have an abundance of fascinating creatures to surprise and delight.

Although this year’s Brisbane Festival is a little lighter on the “wow factor” this year, one thing has thankfully remained true: the ornate, wooden tent known as the “Spiegeltent” has returned once again, bringing with it the opportunity to showcase a smorgasbord of entertainment including tonight’s main event, a performance by Brisbane’s own The Kite String Tangle.

With a couple of very memorable days at Lake Bunyonyi behind us, it was time yesterday to pack camp, jump aboard our faithful G Adventures truck once again, and point our noses towards another special area of Uganda, the Kalinzu Forest, in the hope that we may track down and have an encounter with some chimpanzees!

If only the rest of the world could intelligently & democratically vote in leaders the likes of a Trudeau 🇨🇦 or Ardern 🇳🇿...
